Richmond July 24^th 1787 Dear Sir In order to make the account of Cap^t. Gill the more clear I have obtained from my Office at New York a Copy of the particular Stating of the account he settled there and also a copy of the account he settled in this State, which I enclose with the one I received from you — By these you will find that his pay from January 1^st 1777 to Dec. 10^th 1778 has not been twice drawn, but after that to Jan^y. 1^st 1782 it has that his rations from June 1^st 1778 to Dec^r. 10 1778 has not been twice drawn, but that they have been so from December 10^th 1778 to January 1. 1782 tho the allowance for them have been different — I am unhappy that he has committed this error which brings him very considerably in debt to the United States, or to the State of Virginia and which he is bound in honor to refund — In respect to the expences intended to be allowed to him and which I believe reasoned his way [undecipherable] I do not but as no Order has been given to him, but whether that be or not makes no difference in this affair which appears without any doubt to be a double payment — I am &c Pierce Maj. James Gibbon
